Woooh yeah deaths of despair baby!
Society is going strooooong
All we've done is massively increase inequality, poisoned the world, taken an axe to social services, and let everyone get infected with a virus that causes cumulative brain and heart damage. Who could have predicted this?
I'm shocked, shocked and appalled I tell you.
I miss thinking the future was gonna get better but neoliberalism had entrenched itself so firmly in politics/APS/economics most people don't even realise it's an ideology and not fact, most of the contamination (plastics, pfas, agrichems) are long lived and we're also dependant on them, and climate change is about to get mega spicy if the models are correct and Indonesian, Indian, and islander people are gonna be (rightly) demanding some of this continent's habitable land.
interesting times ahead for us!
Deaths of despair and/or social murder! ☝️ (Due to Shit Life Syndrome)
